Learning Results
This curricular unit corresponds to the first of two sublevels of A2 in line with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe). In accordance with this framework, the A2-level is aimed at developing students` basic communication in German so that they can carry out simple everyday tasks and to communicate in common and familiar settings, using simple language and frequently used expressions. In order to be able to engage in such communication activities students are required to acquire and develop a range of communicative competences, i.e., sociocultural awareness, effective interpersonal interaction, a command of German grammar, vocabulary and phonology.
